Monotropa hypopitys
Monotropa
Monotropa is a genus of three species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants that were formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae and presently are classified in Ericaceae. They are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and are generally rare. Unlike most plants they do not have chlorophyll and therefore are non-photosynthetic; rather, they are myco-heterotrophs that obtain food through parasitism on subterranean fungi. Because they do not need any sunlight to live, they can live in very dark sites such as the floor of deep sylvae.

The videos will post to my YouTube and blog… Because they are longer presentations... I will however let my followers on Facebook Instagram and TikTok know.
Top 10 bulbs that are unique for Florida
I can even tell you top vendors for these... The great thing about bulbs is that It’s their tnature to clump and mass and they actually bloom more when they’re crowded.
General orchid tips… Before my videos on Monday
Orchid basics
The Key things to remember about orchid care in general .
In order to keep alive and re-bloom it.
Will it be indoors or outdoors?
Each species has different light requirements and water requirements.
Orchids in a potting medium must
have the medium dry out between waterings.
Most Orchids without Water storage must be watered a minimum of once a week.As a rule of thumb, drought-tolerant orchids, such as cattleyas, oncidiums and dendrobiums only need to be watered once a week. Other species should be watered every 4-5 days.
Almost all epiphyte species do best when mounted on wood...It’s how they grow in nature… And once established… They require less or no watering and very little fertilizer.
Explaining light requirements -Most orchids need strong filtered light. Not necessarily direct sun. Although they will acclimate to it.
have a very sunny yard, so I put most of my not-full-sun plants in containers under the eaves. They want and need filtered light ..strong light. And many will not re-bloom unless they are affected by seasonal light change.
If you have orchids that like higher light — the Dendrobiums, Vandas, oncidiums and Cattleyas — put them in the pool cage or under an oak tree. If you have a successful staghorn fern, it's in a spot that's great for most orchids.
Many can take some morning sun and afternoon shade.
Your plant will tell you if it’s getting too much (or too little) light. Leaves tend to become greener when light is too low, but they may turn yellow or bleached-looking when light is too bright. If you notice black or brown patches, the plant is likely sunburned and should be moved to an area with lower light.
They really should only be fertilized when they’re actively growing.
Hybrids or inter generic orchids will have the same light and water requirements of the parent plant or plants.

The first video n my day studio……… Spotlight plant. Neoregelia’red waif’ and its ‘parents’
It’s rough angles but lighting is good. Content is more informative interesting and accurate than most people post.PLEASE FOLLOW AND BE PATIENT LOL. I NEED A CAMERAMAN at times AND IM used to a large and live audience. All that said. Im pleased with video
25 years of rare plant material for lectures I just have to perfect the videos and I can’t thank everyone enough for your kind words and support.Please subscribe to blog or YouTube for my more advanced information. #rareplant #rareplants #plantgeek
My daytime studio…yay. Finally shooting vids today. Many need editing. But as the day goes on and become more comfortable there’s less editing needed…
heres daytime
Finished Perfecting the lighting for shooting video during the daytime in my daytime studio. I like my nighttime studio better but I don’t always have the energy at the end of the day and there’s terrible glare during the day. Shot five videos scrapped three of them don’t have a cameraman so I’m just getting used to camera angles so be patient OK…lol…I’ve received a lot of great feedback on the information I give but a lot of people actually want to see me on camera talking about it.
That’s shots of the nighttime studio
Research going on that plants may actually be able to”learn” sensitive plants at KEW
Sensitive plant… The leaves close up to protect themselves from predators and heavy rains…The fascinating thing is that researchers at KEW botanical Gardens in London… Have noticed that their display of this plant has stopped responding to touch… They are currently researching the possibility that this species might have a ‘memory‘… It responds by closing up to the threats in its environment and it may have possibly ‘learned‘ That nonstop repeated touching their leaves on their plants is NOT a threat to them. The plants may somehow know this…and dont respond to touch anymore.
The video I shot tonight
OK so here’s the story about the video ..the lighting is perfect ..the content is good I was a little nervous at first the staging was perfect I needed a cameraman to actually capture what I was talking about. And the audio was like a badly dubbed movie but I was comfortable even with my voice ..and the way I looked on camera. #rareplant #rareplants this is just a video of the staging..
